The parport driver is built as a module:

Thus, you just remove the # from this line in rc.modules:

# /sbin/modprobe parport_pc

Parallel support isn't removed; it's there with lots of other stuff
(28MB worth in the 2.6.7 modules directory) that doesn't need to be
loaded on every machine by default.
